<b>Remarks:</b><br>tango.text.locale adopts the RFC 1766 standard for culture names in the format &lt;language&gt;"-"&lt;region&gt;. 
 &lt;language&gt; is a lower-case two-letter code defined by ISO 639-1. &lt;region&gt; is an upper-case 
 two-letter code defined by ISO 3166. For example, "en-GB" is UK English.
 <br><br>There are three types of culture: invariant, neutral and specific. The invariant culture is not tied to
 any specific region, although it is associated with the English language. A neutral culture is associated with
 a language, but not with a region. A specific culture is associated with a language and a region. "es" is a neutral 
 culture. "es-MX" is a specific culture.
 <br><br>Instances of <a href="#DateTimeFormat">DateTimeFormat</a> and <a href="#NumberFormat">NumberFormat</a> cannot be created for neutral cultures.<br><br>
